Day 1 of the 2017 Roots Festival began at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville with a free culinary tasting event.

Roots Festival 2017 opened last night with a special culinary tasting event hosted by Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. (With a conscious effort to enhance and expand -- both geographically and in content -- the culinary pillar of the festival, organizers are partnering with more venues and organizations in Bentonville than in previous years.)
